The Mycophile: Newsletter of the North American Mycological Association

The Mycophile is published bimonthly by the North American Mycological Association (NAMA), with articles of interest to NAMA members, including nationwide forays and announcements, photography contest winners and award recipients, and news about the NAMA annual foray. Each issue below has a link to a pdf file. In some years, not all issues were published; in other years, notably 2004-2005, some of the files are not available.

Please consider contributing an article to The Mycophile. We are especially interested in reading about your club's history; an unusual foray experience; a favorite or disliked mushroom; the books and other resources you use; an inspiring local mycologist; new insights gleaned from an invited club speaker; what it is like mushrooming with friends, family and children; the circumstances under which you first became interested in fungi; or create and share a recipe. See our contributor instructions page for deadlines. Send your articles to Mycophile Editor at mycophile@namyco.org.
